Intro
AE/AAE/AAE/A
Verse 1
AE/AAE/A
If I could write a letter to me and send it back in time to myself at 17
DA
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
BmE
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
AE/AAE/A
And then I'd say I know it's tough when you break up after seven months
DA/C#
And yeah, I know you really liked her, and it just don't seem fair
BmE
All I can say is pain like that is fast, and it's rare.
Chorus 1
AE/G#F#mA
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
DABmE
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
AE/G#
She wasn't right for you
F#mADA
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
BmE
And you're wondering if you'll survive
DABm
You'll make it through this and you'll see
ADEA E/A
You're still around to write this letter to me.
Verse 2
AE/AA
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth always stop completely
E/A
Don't just tap your brakes
DA/C#
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
BmE
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
AE/A
Each and every time you have a fight
AE/A
Just assume you're wrong and dad is right
DA
And you should really thank Ms. Brinkman she spent so much extra time
Bm
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
E
And she's polishin’ you 'til you shine
Chorus 2
AE/G#F#mA
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
DABmE
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
AE/G#F#mA
Tonight's the bonfire rally but you're staying home instead
DABmE
Because if you fail algebra, mom and dad’ll kill you dead
DABm
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
ADEA
And you're still around to write this letter to me
AEA
You've got so much up ahead
DADA/C#EA
You'll make new friends, you should see your kids and wife
Verse 3
AEF#m
And I'd end by saying have no fear
DA/C#BmAGDE
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
D
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
A/C#
When you're a grown man
BmE
P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can
Chorus 3
AE/G#F#mA
And oh, you got so much going for you, going right
DABmE
But I know at 17, it's hard to see past Friday night
AE/G#
I wish you'd study Spanish
F#mA
I wish you'd take a typing class
DABm
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
ADA/C#BmE
Hey, I'd say have a little faith, and you'll see
AE/AAE/AA
If I could write a letter to me, to me...
This tab is based upon what I hear and is my own interpretation of the song.

There are a few chord differences in your version(E/A vs Bm using Capo, for example), but this is essentially the same as what I submitted with the capo in the 2nd fret. Remember that the G chord while the capo is the the second fret IS the A chord.
